Monday, Thursday, Sunday. Go Steph.

The ESPN author is worried about Klay's 4th quarter performance mentioning 1 made three. But Klay actually had 2 threes and a mid range two in the 4th quarter for 8 points. Klay had 13 pts in the 2nd half. That's all good news for Klay and a key performance for the Warriors. Then he bemoans 20 assists as a "pittance" for the Warriors and apparently doesn't realize that Boston is primarily using drop defense against the pick and roll which is designed to cover the roller and the shooter. The drop defense limits assists to the roller and from the roller when it' becomes a 4 on 3. But the drop has led to open looks for Steph when the Warriors have targeted R. Williams and Horford who are both too slow to close out on Steph or guard him when switches are made. ESPN has a few excellent basketball reporters but this guy is clueless. They have employed several current and former NBA players who could have helped him understand the subject matter.

Has Klay found the secret to unlock all of his talent?

Is there a more likeable player in the NBA?

3-2 Warriors. Thursday in Boston. Sunday at home if needed.

Steph has an off game with poor shooting. No problem. Klay coming off a dip in the Bay gets 21 and Wiggins makes the vaunted Celtics inside defense look helpless turning in a 26/13. The Celtics "superstars" were 7 for 16 against Wiggins and 1 for 10 against Draymond. Tatum and Brown are having their weaknesses exposed by better Warriors defenders and coaching strategies. I wouldn't trade Wiggins for anyone on the Celtics roster. Gary Payton II and Poole were excellent off the bench. Payton makes the Warriors a much better team.

Looking for the Warriors to win Game 6 and the Championship!

Despite Steph's poor shooting, looked like the Dubs were on their way to a commercial, low-stress win until the 3rd quarter run by the Celtics. Wiggins gave them a great lift to rebuild the lead. I was having some flashbacks to game 1...

Draymond finally played like himself.

Celtics looked confused and flat most of the game. Their FT shooting was terrible.

Sorry to see Steph's streak end. But I'm sure the win makes up for any disappointment he might feel. The new streak starts Thurs. (Steph had 16 with 8 assists and 1 turnover--not exactly beans.)

When the top story on sports news is that you went a whole game without making a 3, that says a lot.

C's looked tired in the fourth. Poole's buzzer beater seized back the momentum. Ref's swallowed their whistles. I believe Van Gundy commented that after being O-for-whatever, Steph was still attracting close attention in the fourth quarter, allowing Wiggins to exploit the resulting hollowed-out lane. Watching the replay of his driving dunk, White hesitated, got out of position on the switch when Looney come to the top of the key to set pick for Wiggins. The rest of the Dubs stayed wide, their defenders not sagging, indicating no help would be coming, or would arrive too late, if Wiggs got around the hedge.

It will be interesting to see how the Celtics adjust Thursday.

Inherited handles?

I imagine this will be the announcement during which they share the recipe for chicken parm with Steph.
